I think I need to just write one of my own though, I’ve got a of weird prerequisites, particularly considering the way I build my resume.

I was wondering why they sounded so good, the music over the speakers even had interior space reverb and everything. I just thought it was awesome engineering.
Bullet Dodged?
It appears, as news to everyone on the crew, that 2012 had its release date pushed to November. At first it seemed like layoff was in the cards, but we had another editor start today and the dialogue crew is starting on Monday, so it appears to still be full speed ahead on the normal sched, which is to say, we’ll work until April and then be extended to September.
Must be those new German 88s, and pretty close...
Anybody notice, like in the past two or three weeks, that that constant flood of credit card solicitations in your mailbox has kinda, sorta, stopped?

That thing I stare at every day is called a “Bode Plot.” Huh.

I almost supervised this show for Studio 8, but we got underbid. Assholes!
Organized Labor Watch
The Field Reps for the Guild were just walking down the hall making sure everyone was coming to the IA contract meeting on Thursday, it’s gonna be an interesting scene I think.
Great DC Dish! →
I think one of the reasons I like political commentary, wether it be blogs or Barbara Tuchman, is that it tends to resemble Hollywood gossip.

Did I just see previz footage being used in a live commercial of Push?
Beyond the Sea (2004)
“Tell me somethin’: who’s this guy ‘Yom Kippur’ they have booked on Friday?”
Not a bad movie, and certainly not a mess… The dance numbers are too few and far between. It feels like they were added as an afterthought after someone noticed Chicago was killing in the box office. That said, they’re fun and done quite well, and despite their sparseness...
Million Dollar Mermaid (1946)
Annette Kellerman is an Australian girl (with an Esther Williams accent) that is born with a palsy and can’t walk without crutches, but learns how to swim and slays the world with her swimminess, impressing even the great Pavlova at the Hippodrome.
There was a line from Walter Pidgeon that really stands at the heart of the movie. The plot of the movie is complete bullshit, but it works...

It takes not one but several million dollars to chase birds away from an airport :)

– Abraham Lincoln. As Christians go, Lincoln was very strange by modern standards, and probably pretty strange to his contemporaries. Very “Oriental” in a certain sort of way.

The Hero of Flight 1549 →
With a name like “Chesley B. Sullenberger, III” you would expected him to have a silk scarf and goggles. As the article points out, a zero-fatality ditching is extremely rare. Then again, any crash with a complete airframe and complete control of the surfaces is pretty rare.
How did I not remember Sundance is this week? It’s been the first year in so long I haven’t had a show going up there… Must be losing my touch.

The interwebs are tied up with the news of Ricardo Montalban’s passing, but this is hitting today as well and getting less attention. A sad day for the nerds.
